As operating costs continue to rise, green energy is becoming more prominent in both the consumer and enterprise spaces. Companies and consumers alike are looking to conserve energy, waste fewer
resources and spend less money. The sentiment is definitely understandable.

That’s why a variety of new and unique technologies are in the works to help cut down some of the costs we rack up. Modern technologies like solar-powered equipment and utilities, electric cars, green building materials
and even recycled e-waste may eventually have a huge impact on our lives.

One new form of technology — which will be used to preserve additional energy generated by green sources like solar panels or wind turbines — could potentially save Ontario up to $8 billion over an
extended period of 20 years. However, it’s not just Ontario that would benefit, it’s anywhere that decides to implement this new tech. That information comes from a study by NRStor and General Compression…

It’s not very often that one finds multiple, totally incredible projects funding on Kickstarter all at the same time. I think that the hardest part of it all is having to choose which one(s) to
support while staying within the gadget budget! But if you want something to distract and excite during the long workday, here are three most-excellent Kickstarter campaigns worthy of attention.

It’s easy to forget about past electronics once a shiny new upgrade is in the hands. Unfortunately, all of that material and circuitry end up taking a long journey to some landfill to sit and
wither away. When you think about it and crunch numbers, there is a lot of waste when it comes to mobile devices and the rate that consumers choose to replace ‘old’ models.

It doesn’t matter if you’re slightly eco-conscious or simply want to save a buck in the long run, but people and the earth can benefit from the Better Re Upcycling Power Pack. The idea is so simple, but the impact is huge!
The Better Re lets users create an external battery pack out of old smartphone batteries. Or, you can use it as a universal battery charger for your spare battery for your latest device.

Lithium batteries can have a long lifespan, maintaining at least 80 percent of maximum capacity two years later. The Better Re is tooless, expandable, uses eco-friendly material, and will check
smartphone batteries and inform when they’re truly dead and…

If your water bill is high, it makes sense to consider some prudent measures – like taking shorter showers or not letting the faucet run when it’s not in use. Still, even after basic precautions,
there are savvy ways to cut down on water consumption without constantly worrying about usage.

The gadgets below aid considerably in saving water, which not only saves money; it also saves the environment. While many utilities come with sensors that monitor changes in water flow and piping, these gadgets will help you take water conservation
into your own hands.

1. ECO Showerdrop

Ideally, we could all take a shower in less than five minutes in an effort to conserve water. That’s not always possible, though. Sometimes we need a better scrubbing than usual. Other times, we
may just need extra time in the shower to unwind.

Apparently these machines have been around for at least a couple months. I haven’t seen one within the Philadelphia city limits, because there isn’t one, but they’re scattered through numerous
shopping malls in the suburbs. You can find your nearest ecoATM machine

There are countries like Germany, which has committed to making the transition to alternative energy and which has become one of the world's strongest economies as a result. And then there's America, where people are so privileged and pampered that they'll deliberately waste energy and pollute the air to make some kind of deranged anti-science, anti-regulation political statement. Or, even worse, doing it just to be a jerk.

]]>You don’t
need to be “liberal” or “conservative” to know ignorant morons when you see them.

While the rest of the sane world, including those who use and manufacture consumer tech products, chooses to conserve energy wherever they can — call it “saving green by going green” — there are
those bitter people with an axe to grind against reason, science and good taste. They consider themselves patriots. I consider them willfully anti-intellectual dopes.

While big companies shove it out in the wearable tech arms race (technically, wrist race), EnergyBionics is taking a slightly different approach. Instead of having a companion mobile device masquerading as watch, why not wear a watch with some useful, clever features? That seems to be the premise behind the Carbon watch, which has already surpassed its funding goal on Kickstarter.

]]>Energy saving is a trend that’s growing more and more popular, especially as technology is developed to make products better. But as mobile devices have continued to grow and saturate
the consumer market, so has vampire energy.

Vampire energy is the energy that’s wasted by electronics that are plugged in, even if they’re not in use. DVD players, microwaves, and cable boxes are just a few examples. But some of the biggest
culprits are all our power adapters for laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Those adapter slowly drain energy all day and…
